Qing-Chen Cao, Xing Wang, De-Cheng Wu. Controlled Cross-linking Strategy for Formation of Hydrogels, Microgels and Nanogels[J]. Chinese Journal of Polymer Science, 2018, 36(1): 8-17. DOI: 10.1007/s10118-018-2061-7.
Hydrogels are a kind of unique cross-linking polymeric materials with three-dimensional networks. Various efforts have been devoted to manipulate the formation of functional hydrogels
in situ
and enrich the production of hydrogels
microgels and nanogels with improved modulation capacity. However
these methods always fail to tune the gel properties because of the difficulty in achieving the precise control of cross-linking extents once the gel formation is initiated. Therefore
the preparation of tailor-made hydrogels remains a great challenge. Herein
we summarize a controlled cross-linking strategy towards not only fabrication of hydrogels at nano-
micro-and macro-scales
but also achievement of controlled assembly of nanoparticles into multifunctional materials in macroscopic and microscopic scales. The strategy is conducted by controllably activating and terminating the disulfide reshuffling reactions of disulfide-linked core/shell materials with selective core/shell separation using system pH or UV triggers. So it provides a facile approach to producing hydrogels
hydrogel particles and nanoparticle aggregates with tunable structures and properties
opening up the design possibility
flexibility and complexity of hydrogels
microgels/nanogels and nanoparticle aggregates from nanoscopic components to macroscopic objects.
